  • Patent number: 12649612
    Abstract: The present technology discloses a multi-position valve for use with a container. The valve can have a frustoconical structure having apertures thereon, and a concentric flap attached to the frustoconical structure by a hinge, wherein the concentric flap pivots from a first closed position to a second open position. When the concentric flap of the interior valve is in the first closed position, the concentric flap abuts against the frustoconical structure and blocks fluid flow through the apertures. When the concentric flap of the interior valve is in the second open position, the concentric flap is pivoted upward at the hinge and away from the frustoconical structure and permits fluid flow through the apertures.

  • Publication number: 20250144311
    Abstract: A flush syringe including a barrel, and a plunger. A tip of the barrel has a substantially flat surface that expands radially outward that then extends into an annular wall. The annular wall expands radially down and outward from the rounded edge to a tip base. The barrel defines a liquid reservoir and is configured to receive a plunger. The plunger is inserted into the barrel to forcibly dispense a fluid stored within the fluid reservoir through an outlet and into a mating device such as a nipple shield.
